A Forgotten Life. ( Amnesiac Bill AU )

Chapter 2: The Dorito Problem

The sun started to rise, Dipper and Mabel were already at the table. Stan was making breakfast for them, as he usually does. This time he wasn't really paying attention to the pancakes he was making as he was concerned with the drink that Mabel made.

"That's worse than the drink you made last year!" Stan said to Mabel, he sounded worried for her. That drink didn't look healthy whatsoever, it was pink with glitter plus a bunch of dinosaurs and gummy worms, but not only that there were several other drinks mixed in and a ton of sugar.

"What do you mean Grunkle Stan? This is perfectly fine to drink!" Mabel giggled, Dipper was sitting in silence at the table.. There was certainly something off about today, without a doubt for sure.

"If it was 'perfectly fine' then I'd be able to drink it." Stan replied, he looked back at the pancakes he was making. They burnt! "Well, I just wasted the last of our pancake mix, great." Stan was about to throw them away, but Mabel stopped him in the process.

"It's still edible!" Mabel grabbed the burnt pancakes and put them on her plate. She started eating them all, even though they were burnt. What a brave kid, Stan and Dipper could never.

Dipper and Stan looked at Mabel eating the burnt pancakes in disgust. "Alright, well I guess I'll go outside." Dipper said sighing.

"What? Are you not going to eat anything else? C'mon kid, you need something in your stomach, we have a lot of work to do today." Stan said, worried about Dipper.

"I'm sure I'll be fine, but thanks." Dipper said as he walked outside of the shack, grabbing his own journal. Maybe he'll find something new to write about? Who knows.

Meanwhile, in the forest a confused Bill stood. He didn't know who he was, or where he even came from. He'd been in this forest for hours, why? He thought it was better not to think about it, and just move on.

"I wonder if there's anyone who knows me. Maybe they could tell me who I am?" Bill said something out loud for a change, but he didn't even know that was his voice, and for a moment he was weirded out by it. "Eghh, I sound weird."

Bill caught site of some gnomes that began yelling at him. "AUGhh!! Get away from me, you tiny gross looking men!!" He said as he started to run away, no he wasn't floating. Bill had forgotten how to float, so he actually uses his legs! Which are, pretty weak to begin with.

Once he was able to escape the bunch, he came across a puddle. It caught his eye as he looked down upon it, he could see a reflection of himself in it. Was that really how he looked? He looked so.. Odd. It wasn't what he was expecting, for sure. He tried to look at himself some more, he wished he could just, remember things. He hated this feeling of not knowing who he was.

He decided not to think about it too much, as he was able to see some sort of shack in the distance. Wow, there was actually a building here? It looked like some sort of shack, although Bill wasn't too sure about it. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it started to get.. But why? Why did he know it? He started to walk towards the direction of the shack, although it'll be awhile until he actually gets there, it's quite far. He was lucky enough to spot it from this distance to be honest, but that's the true glory of having an eye that takes up most of your body holds.

Dipper saw the usual things you'd expect at Gravity Falls. Woodpecker-peckers, Multi-Bear, Gremlobin, ect. There wasn't really anything new to write about this place, so Dipper just stuck to writing his thoughts and feelings in his journal. He just knew something big was gonna happen, and it could just be any second now, lurking somewhere in this woods would be something so shocking, so surprising--

Dipper started hearing gnomes fight. Yeah, that was the big 'surprising' thing he needed. However, what they were fighting about managed to catch his attention.

"WE SAW HIM!!" Carson said, panicked. "How could you see him? Isn't he supposed to be dead, or whatever?" Jeff said, obviously not buying what Carson was saying. "We did! It's true, Bill is back and..." Steve was trying to explain. "Shmebulock!" One of them randomly said.

Dipper was puzzled about this, Bill? Back? No, they had to be hit on the head or something. This couldn't have possibly happened.. Could it? He could feel the life draining from him, the fear of Bill coming back. If he was really back, he knew Bill was going to come for his family. His body was shaking as he fell to the ground and the gnomes caught sight of them. Not wanting to bother some traumatized kid that heard their conversation, they ran way.

"No, no, no..." He placed his hand over his face, the sheer horror. He tried to calm himself down by taking deep breaths, he tried to tell himself that this wasn't true, all of this was a lie, he pretended like he heard the gnomes incorrectly, how could Bill even be back? He quickly got up and walked off, trying to find some sort of proof of this.

As he started walking deeper into the forest, someone or something had bumped into him.
